Philadelphia, PA – June 27, 2025
The Eagles’ Super Bowl glow fades for some! Six former Philly players, key depth pieces in 2024, remain unsigned free agents, leaving fans stunned as teams circle the reigning champs’ talent, sources told ESPN.
Defending Super Bowl LIX is no easy feat. With FanDuel listing Philly as 2025 favorites, GM Howie Roseman faces a cap crunch. Rival teams are poaching Eagles’ depth, yet six veterans linger without deals.
James Bradberry, a 2022 Pro Bowler, headlines the group. His 2024 Achilles injury dimmed his star, but the cornerback’s experience could still tempt teams needing secondary help post-draft.
Rick Lovato, Philly’s Super Bowl LIX long snapper, played every snap in 2024. His reliability made his free-agent status shocking. Fans on X hope he returns to steady special teams.
C.J. Uzomah, a tight end, played five games in 2024 before landing on IR. His minimal impact—two catches, 12 yards—has teams hesitating, but his veteran presence could spark interest.
Le’Raven Clark and Jack Driscoll, offensive linemen, offered depth in 2024. Clark’s injury-plagued season and Driscoll’s eight starts make them affordable options for teams seeking line stability.
Nick Gates, a versatile lineman, played sparingly but brings grit. With 665 combined snaps from these six in 2024, their unemployment surprises, as teams await draft results to fill rosters.
As training camp nears, Philly might re-sign a few. Roseman’s cap wizardry could bring Lovato or Bradberry back to bolster the title defense. Will these Eagles soar again?
